How near is near? It works over wifi and bluetooth, letting your phone be quite far away--in another room, for instance--and it'll still work. My understanding of wifi calling is that it relies on your cell provider, but simply uses wifi to carry the signal instead of a cell tower. You still need a cellular account and a device from your carrier to do it. > On Nov 1, 2015, at 23:11, Mary Otten <[email protected]> wrote: > > OK, you are right. It is a separate setting.
